Highlights
Baylor All Saints Regional Heart Center
Baylor All Saints Regional Heart Center is staffed and equipped to accept cardiac patients from the first signs of heart and vascular trouble. The center’s services include a cardiac catherization lab; the Ryan Center for Electrophysiology, non-invasive cardiology, cardiovascular surgery, cardiopulmonary rehabilitation, specialized intensive care units, and a progressive care unit, and chest pain accreditation.
Laura Leonard Hallum Neuroscience Center
The Laura Leonard Hallum Neuroscience Center encompasses three neuroscience operating rooms with high-powered microscopes and a framed stereotactic surgery system for complex brain and spinal cord surgeries, such as those performed on the skull base, spine and brain. The center utilizes technologically advanced surgical facilities and medical technologies such as Gamma Knife® surgery for the treatment of brain tumors. The center recently expanded by opening a Clinic for Movement Disorders, which will be devoted to caring for patients who suffer from Parkinson’s disease as well as other movement disorders, such as essential tremors and dystonia.
Surgical Services
The da Vinci® S HD Surgical System, a robotic platform, allows surgeons to perform complex laparoscopic surgical procedures through 1-2 cm incisions, or openings smaller than the size of a dime. The da Vinci integrates three-dimension high definition endoscopy and advanced robotic technology to virtually extend the surgeon’s eyes and hands into the surgical field. Some of the benefits experienced by surgeons using the new technology over traditional approaches are greater surgical precision, increased range of motion, improved agility, enhanced visualization and improved access to the surgical site.
Oncology Services
Baylor All Saints offers 26 private inpatient rooms designed with the latest amenities such as a large and well-appointed family room and a 13-station outpatient infusion area for the comfort and convenience of patients and caregivers. Baylor All Saints’ oncology program consists of site specific cancer clinics and a general tumor board, lymphedema services, clinical research, inpatient hospice care, stroboscopy and speech therapy, palliative care, chronic pain management and stereotactic radiosurgery for treatment of brain tumors.
Transplant Services
Baylor All Saints provides comprehensive liver, kidney, and pancreas transplant services with highly experienced, full-time transplant surgeons and transplant physicians on its medical staff, as well as skilled transplant nurses and other qualified multidisciplinary tream members. Baylor All Saints has a 27-bed transplant unit for patients waiting for or recovering from transplant surgery. Baylor All Saints is one of a handful of U.S. teams currently performing pancreatic islet cell research and islet cell transplants. Under the direction of Shinichi Matsumoto, M.D., Ph.D., this research shows significant promise in reducing the severity of symptoms associated with Type I diabetes. Islet cell transplantation is experimental and requires patients to participate in a clinic research study.
